"Christine Nikander and The E-Waste Column [...] are on a mission to demystify responsible supply chains as we transition to a low-carbon world.​"

"Recycling of end-of-life (EoL) devices will gain increasing attention in Europe as the race for critical raw materials accelerates. Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) represents a valuable yet still largely underutilized secondary source of critical raw materials. A valuable learning resource on WEEE, critical raw materials, and the circular economy [...] worth exploring is the Learning Hub developed by Christine Nikander through The E-Waste Column.

Understanding the material foundations of the digital and energy transition is becoming increasingly important. Electronics, renewable technologies, and AI infrastructure all depend on complex supply chains for metals and critical raw materials. [...]​ As the global economy moves toward electrification and digitalization, understanding the lifecycle of materials in electronics will be critical for building resilient and circular supply chains."

"I believe that in the coming years The E-Waste Column has the potential to become a true point of reference for the industry. E-waste recycling and electronics circularity will only become more important, driven by market growth, technological trends, increasing volumes of electronic waste, and new regulatory requirements. From 2027 onward in particular, recycling and proper treatment of this material class will become even more central — not only for recyclers, but also for producers, retailers, and all stakeholders involved in the electronics value chain.

What makes The E-Waste Column especially valuable is that it does not only report information, but helps connect the dots across the sector. It provides context, highlights relevant players, and helps make visible the challenges and opportunities that define this industry. This is extremely useful for companies like ours, because it supports a better understanding of where the market is moving and where collaboration opportunities may emerge."
